B2B Sponsorship Sales Executive

When it comes to building world-class professional communities, The Alliance is leading the way. From Product Marketing and Sales Enablement to Product-Led Growth, AI, Customer Success, and CMOs, we're home to some of the most engaged and influential communities in the industry.

With 160,000+ professionals across our communities and a constant stream of content, courses, events, and memberships, we help our members learn, connect, and grow. Our executive events are a key part of that mission—bringing together senior leaders to share insights, tackle industry challenges, and build meaningful relationships.

Every year, we engage attendees, speakers, partners, and members from some of the world's leading organisations and fastest-growing start-ups, including TikTok, Microsoft, Peloton, and Uber.

We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially driven B2B Sales Executive to join our Sponsorship Sales team at The Alliance.

Ideally, you’ll have experience in B2B sales, events, media, or delegate sales, and be comfortable working towards ambitious targets and KPIs. You’ll already understand the importance of prospecting, building relationships, and closing deals, and now you’re ready to develop those skills further in a new commercial environment.

At The Alliance, we connect leading B2B brands with senior decision-makers through our professional communities, exclusive events, and tailored sponsorship solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to work with established brands, develop your commercial expertise, and learn how to sell higher-value solutions.

We’re looking for someone who wants more than just their next sales job. Someone who is motivated to improve, ready to take ownership of their results, and determined to build a successful long-term career in sales.

• Prospecting & Outreach: Build a strong pipeline through outbound calls, emails, research, and consistent follow-up.

• Continuous Improvement: Learn from experienced colleagues, act on feedback, and continuously develop your sales skills.

• Sales Experience: Ideally, experience in B2B sales, delegate sales, events, media, or another target-driven commercial environment.

• A Proven Sales Mindset: You’re comfortable working towards demanding targets and KPIs and motivated by achieving results.

• Confidence & Communication: You can build rapport, engage prospects, and communicate commercial value effectively.

• A Hunter Mentality: You enjoy prospecting, opening doors, generating opportunities, and winning new business.

• Resilience & Determination: You can handle rejection, stay focused under pressure, and maintain momentum.

• Commercial Ambition: You want to develop your sales ability, take on greater responsibility, and increase your earning potential as you progress.

• A Desire to Learn: You’re receptive to coaching, willing to challenge yourself, and committed to continuous improvement.

Above all, we want people who are hungry to succeed, take pride in their results, and are serious about taking their sales career to the next level.
